I choose to interpret this question as my favourite adaptation in terms of faithfulness to the original story. And in that case, my favourite is undoubtedly John Huston’s The Dead. A truly beautiful adaptation of James Joyce’s best story. It puts tears in my eyes every time I watch it.
No cheating; your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist. I don’t know how qualified Colin James is to be my therapist, but it’s certainly an intriguing thought!
Crazy to think it’s been over a year since I made one of these. Anyway, here’s what it looks like now!
Quote an actor in the wrong film: “I’m sorry. I just… I felt like a priest again, and now I’m going to lose that… and lose my purpose and I’m frightened. I don’t know how I’ll live.”
The movie that was box office number one on your TENTH birthday is how your 2026 will go.... Me: But… I’m already married…
Share a cinema villain whom you feel is deeply underrated. For me, I’m going with El Indio in “For a Few Dollars More.” At first glance, he seems like just another trigger-happy psychopath, but it’s clear throughout the film that he’s more complex than that. And Gian Volonte does an incredible job.
Share some of the best eyes in movies 🎥👀🖤 Om Puri had 2 minutes of screentime in “Gandhi” and stole the show completely. His wild staring eyes convey all the rage, despair, grief, and guilt which his character is feeling. A man convinced that he is going to hell, confronted with redemption.
Screw the Die Hard debate. You know what IS a Christmas movie? The Proposition.
TIL just how many times I was listening to Canadian voice actor Rick Jones throughout my childhood.
